About 2025 Guardian Games
Join us for the second annual Guardian Games on Saturday, November 8, 2025! Guardian Games will take place during Special Olympics Northern California’s Fall Games Championship at UC Davis. Fall Games brings together soccer athletes from across the region to compete in exciting championship match-ups to complete the Special Olympics NorCal soccer season.
Guardian Games is a unique opportunity to bring our community together with Special Olympics athletes for a fun and active experience. Teams of eight including business and community leaders, two Special Olympics NorCal athletes and one Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) representative will compete in a variety of sports and activities, such as tug-of-war, relay races, football throwing competitions, and more.
Law enforcement supports Special Olympics NorCal throughout the year and local personnel serve as the “Guardians of the Flame” for the Special Olympics Torch.
